Land, labor, indigenous knowledge and institutional resources of producers in the Central Highlands of Ethiopia are investigated. Frequency distribution and comparative statistical analysis of the two regions with respect to these and other parameters suggest that in a situation where all...

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that dynamic paths in a model of discrete choice with social interactions, which have been developed by Brock and Durlauf (1999, 2001a, 2001b, 2006), converge some self-consistent equilibrium. To this aim, we propose an asynchronous model of...

We study a resource constrained assembly line balancing problem (RCALBP) presented by A?pak and G?k?en, who developed a 0-1 integer programming model to find the optimal solution. However, this model is inefficient in solving large-scale problems. In this paper, we propose a simple efficient...

In this study, we develop a theoretical model based on social network theory to understand how the collaboration (co-authorship) network of scholars correlates to the research performance of scholars. For this analysis, we use social network analysis (SNA) measures (i.e., normalized closeness...

We propose a model for the evolution of market share in presence of social influence. We study a simple market in which the individuals arrive sequentially and choose one of the available products. Their decision of which product to choose is a stochastic function of the inherent quality of the...

This paper analyzes optimal retailer pricing in dense transshipment networks. Given the complexities associated with logistic profit functions (Hanson and Martin 1996; Hongmin and Woonghee 2011), a key insight of the paper is that prices become much easier to analyze as the network becomes dense....

We experimentally explore individual and interactive decision making ina sequential search task and test whether generally accepted principles ofbounded rationality (aspiration formation, satisficing, and aspiration adjustment)adequately explain the observed search behavior. Subjects can, at...

This study investigates how elements of a survey invitation message targeted to businesses influence their participation in a self-administered web survey. We implement a full factorial experiment varying five key components of the email invitation. Unlike traditional experimental setups with...
